I Will Not Be Afraid

I will not be afraid

I will not be afraid;

I will look up­ward

and tra­vel on­ward

And not be afraid.

He says He will be with me

He says He will be with me;

He goes be­fore me

and is be­side me

So I’m not afraid.

His arms are un­der­neath me

His arms are un­der­neath me;

His hands up­hold me

His love en­folds me

So I’m not afraid.

His Word will stand for­ev­er

His Word will stand for­ev­er;

His truth—it shall be my shield and buck­ler

So I’m not afraid.

He will give grace and glo­ry

He will give grace and glo­ry;

His cross be­fore me

His ban­ner o’er me

So I’m not afraid.

So we go sing­ing on­ward

So we go sing­ing on­ward;

We’re press­ing up­ward

We’re march­ing home­ward

To Him un­afraid.
